The House of Commons
The interior of the House of Commons, St. Margaret Street, Westminster, c. 1890. The House of Commons (lower house) and the House of Lords (upper house) together comprise the Houses of Parliament. They occupy a building which was erected in the mid 19th century on the site of the Palace of Westminster which was destroyed by fire in 1834. The House of Commons Chamber, shown here, was destroyed in a German air attack in 1941 and was rebuilt to the designs of the original architect, Sir Charles Barry.
